Quick Transmigration: Saving The Crazy Villainess - Chapter 431

The group of faes who wanted to attack him was still more than a kilometer away so, for over ten seconds, the man atop the wall spent his time watching how the group of humans dealt with the poor dinosaur.

None of them showed any intention to keep it alive. Their attacks were deadly. Jiang Li noticed that most of the time, the ones hacking the enormous lizard were using sound attacks by its ear. It seemed the dinosaur which was almost ten meters in length boasting high defense was actually weak against anything deafening. Quite an irony for a thing that used thunderous noises to intimidate.

The battle continued to rage on. The carefree spectator’s eyes did not move away.

Perhaps, the human side thought the ice wall would not last long, they abandoned all hesitation and bombarded Gaoli with everything they had. The explosives thrown and firearms used opened Jiang Li’s eyes to the extent of the progress in technology. Now the fae boy, wounded, but nothing truly fatal, was genuinely angry, yet helpless since the villainess’ companions were not giving him time to breathe.

“Pest! Pest! Die!” The venomous words of the fae youth were filled with killing intent but because they also hinted desperation, the human soldiers did not become terrified, instead, their courage grew bigger.

“Everyone! I saw the emblem on him! He’s a noble!”

“I’m being serious this time! This one here is no deadly foe! Don’t hold back! He’s a merit bag that walked to our doorsteps!”

“Kill!”

It seemed Jiang Li’s presence stimulated the morale of those youngsters? The various electronic and magic-powered weapons were really an eye-opener.

This made him laugh.

‘These guys are lucky that this world has magic and so while I have yet to reach godhood again, dealing with everyone here is not that difficult. Otherwise, I would have left already, only saving Wang Yu Yan.’

After learning a few tricks from the ones fighting below, Jiang Li faced the furious teammates of the besieged fae youth. He saw that all their faces were cold, some were even gnashing their teeth.

The ice wall giving off a crystal-like l.u.s.ter was like a very thick transparent glass, so Mohan and his teammates could see how their colleague was faring against the human soldiers. It was easy to guess why they wore those expressions.

As for the ones further away, they looked wary. However, they had no intention to join the male lead’s squad in confronting him. These guys were a bit at odds with them so it was understandable, plus Jiang Li looked like a tough opponent even if all of them were to join forces. The best service they could do for the death-seeking squad of the male lead was to report the appearance to the headquarters using their communicators.

“Now what should we do, leader. Those cowards from Team 1 are not coming over to help.” A subordinate of the male lead said in a low voice, his eyes also warily watching every movement from the ice expert who was tauntingly grinning at them above.

The male lead was conflicted when he heard the question, still silent as he weighed his options. At the risk of another subordinate or two dying, or even their entire squad getting wiped out, would it be worth it to fight a very strong human expert to save Gaoli?

As if his precious mount could feel the emotion of its owner, it bellowed angrily at Jiang Li.

“Marcus, stop!” Mohan who sat on its back immediately felt alarmed and repeatedly patted its neck.

Actually, all the dinosaurs on their side emulated Mohan’s pet Marcus and bared their maws filled with large sharp teeth at the enemy. The exposed tongues were long and unnerving.

The fae atop these dinosaurs felt nervous too and they all began to cuss inwardly, hating the lack of intelligence of their pets. They did come forward, but if there was a choice they did not want to enter a fight with somebody who could erect such an imposing and seemingly endless wall in just a second. They all did their best to pacify their mounts.

“Mohan!” Another fae youth turned to the male lead, his tone heavy and anxious. This person only dared to call out the leader’s name because his family was not that inferior. Also, the alarm in his heart rang because Jiang Li suddenly jumped down.

At that time, the guy called looked like black veins were about to fill the bluish sclera of his eyes from overworking his brain.

“Damn! It’s just a lone person. Why are we all chickening out!”

Another fairly brave fae spat out. This one could not stand it anymore and suddenly dashed forward with his mount that looked like a flying vulture, a winged reptile, that had scales in place of feathers. The lad was courageous as his war pet that had a funny-looking crest on its head could just easily lift him up if things went south.

“Wait, Barak!” His action caused everyone else’s faces to turn dim. But maybe since he took the lead, two more others also urged their mounts to run forward. Loud war cries filled the place. A hint of anger flashed across the male lead’s eyes and he too could only join the others in attacking Jiang Li.

But not long after, they realizing that something was wrong. In just three seconds after charging, they were all forced to halt in place, their faces paling.

It was not only because Gaoli’s ceratosaurus suddenly bellowed loudly, its cries sounding so tragic as it got heavily injured by the collective attacks from the weaker humans on the other side.

Four seconds passed with the fae youths roaming their eyes around alertly.

“… where is he?!” Then finally, the youth called Barak voiced out.

None of them saw where the enemy went even though the person was just standing in front of them a few moments ago. They boasted clearer and greater eyesight coordination too so despite it not showing on their faces, they were actually panicking in their hearts.

“Not good! Behind you!” Somebody in front shouted and Mohan could not help but frown as the guy was looking at him.

The male lead instinctively looked behind him.

And the moment he did, he saw a man seemingly in his late thirties to early forties waving a hand at him, smiling like he was his friend. Of course, Mohan felt the danger and jumped down from his own mount. He instantly charged and swung a fist, hoping to land a blow so he could buy time for his colleagues to arrive by his side. At the same time, the male lead activated his special ability that let him summon a torrent of flames.

“Marcus!” At his call, the carnotaurus who had high fire resistance also charged, its large body vanishing for a moment before reappearing to where a roasted Jiang Li should be. It raised its leg, ready to stomp on whatever remains would be there.

Well, that was what should have happened.

However, when Mohan heard his subordinates calling out the names of their beloved war pets, he already knew that something went wrong again.

He drew in a cold breath. “This is bad. We’re caught unprepared and this foe is proving to be a very tough one.”

The thin web-like lines in his two eyes became more prevalent as they bulged out. After sweeping his surroundings with a glance, the handsome face of the male lead turned as white as paper upon seeing that all the dinosaurs on their side suddenly became frozen, encased inside large white ice crystals. The man disappeared again and the huge flames he threw in front before he jumped back vanished without a trace.

“Cut off his limbs and don’t let him bite his tongue!” On the other side, the villainess’ fight finally concluded.

“No, wait, he’s escaping! He’s abandoning his mount!” When Wang Yu Yan’s team had finally entrapped Gaoli in a formation, the latter suddenly let out tears of blood, looking so enraged and humiliated, before howling and running away.

The fae youth was angry because he didn’t want to leave the ceratosaurus behind, but the mysterious formation of the humans had the effect of preventing one from using their grey gem from collecting their war pets. In the past two hundred years humans could not come up with a way to tame these monsters due to some soul-binding technique the fae race employed on them, but humanity at least researched a way to deal with them.

The greatest dilemma was stopping the faes from sneaking into the domed cities massacring the innocent civilians using their giant biological weapons. They could only strengthen the defense around their territories, shifting a lavish amount of resources into ensuring the borders would not easily be breached. They gave even the patrols and scouts formation techniques that would help restrain a fae from summoning a caught dinosaur back into their special storage.

Not long after, because the owner of the war beast escaped, Wang Yu Yan and the others channeled their anger towards the ceratosaurus and in no time, the giant horned lizard let out a tragic cry before breathing its last. It collapsed in a pool of blood with a loud thud.

When Wang Yu Yan saw it, she finally let out a sigh of relief and then looked over the other side. Her heart was filled with admiration upon seeing that the ice wall still remained sturdy and intimidating, emitting white fog that spoke volumes of its bone-chilling temperature. Even from where she stood, which was dozens of meters away, she could feel the coldness brushing against her skin despite the layer of armor on her person.

“Waahhh!” While panting for breath, the other human scouts flew on top of the ice wall and exclaimed through the communicator.

“Yu Yan! We’ve really run into an expert!”

They widened their eyes at the unbelievable sight of several ice crystals containing frozen dinosaurs being thrown over their side.

As their own battle finally ended, it was now their turn to spectate. Yet what they did not expect was for the ice expert to simply split the war pets from their owners before capturing them separately. The group of faes standing by from several kilometers away were not spared.

When Wang Yu Yan doubled tapped on her temple as a command for the detector slash lense to zoom into the spot where the captives were bound, it happened that a black plastic bag wrapped around the head of the male lead.

“Hehe, this one is the leader.” Jiang Li casually said when he saw the questioning eyes of Wang Yu Yan’s teammates. He left the blanks in his explanation for them to fill in.

“Senior.” They did a military salute towards him.

Waving a hand as he walked towards the other side, passing through the ice wall that he created himself, he said, “Let’s not be bothered by formalities. Good work for helping me deal with these guys. Bring them back. I’ve rendered them unconscious so none of them would wake up in at least five days.”

“We understand. Thank you for saving us. We owe you a huge favor, Mister,” said the middle-aged guy who served as the leader of the group. After commanding the others to do the clean-up, he turned to the other man.

“May we know your esteemed name and which city you are from?”

Jiang Li only smiled at him and the other felt cold sweat trickle down his spine. But then when he heard Jiang Li speak, his face relaxed.

“Jiang Li. Taipei.”

‘Ah? Isn’t that destroyed thirty years ago?’

‘This expert is somebody who grew up in a ruined city? How could that be?’

Regardless of what the old man was thinking, Jiang Li passed by him and walked towards the beautiful girl who respectfully saluted while still wearing her signature bland expression.

“Thank you for coming to our rescue, Senior Jiang.”

“Hmm.” The man gave the girl a glance, slightly admiring her graceful yet sharp bearing. She was sharp to notice his uniform that did not match his power level.

“Careful! Even you’re angry, don’t break their so many of their bones or injure them too much!” Voices from the jubilant scouts suddenly reached his ears.

“Yeah, we need them to fess up something useful so they must be kept alive!”

Jiang Li then looked at the male lead who was now being transported into a carrier together with his colleagues.

Now that he recalled it, it seemed in exchange with him getting the chance to regain his peak power, the three plot-change rule came back and imposed restrictions on him. The system’s warning was the reason Jiang Li did not prevent humanity from capturing Mohan. So, even though he achieved today’s goal of not letting the male lead be seen by the villainess, it was still not enough. There was always a chance the plot would force them to meet each other officially.

With a contemplative expression on his face, he stopped in front of Wang Yu Yan and flashed a friendly smile at her.

“You should be the famous Wang Yu Yan?”

A hint of surprise briefly flickered in the villainess’ eyes but she immediately came back to her senses and replied, “Yes, Senior.”

He nodded. “My guess is spot-on. Do you know that I specifically infiltrated the army for you?”

Wang Yu Yan was dumbfounded. As she stared at Jiang Li’s face, she secretly wondered, ‘Is this uncle joking with me?’

However, the ice expert did not seem to be kidding around. He continued, “Lass, I can see that you are smart and talented. Your strategies made my eyes light up specifically.”

“I don’t care if somebody taught you that and you recognized them as your teacher. Anyway, it’s never against the rules to apprentice oneself to multiple masters.”

“But since it seems you and I have some fate with each other, and you’re really talented and with potential, while I am really very very strong…” This part already sounded shameless to Wang Yu Yan, and actually even to those listening around.

Even though she was listening intently without interrupting, Wang Yu Yan’s face turned weirder and weirder. She had an inkling of where the conversation was going. Yet she couldn’t help but be puzzled. Hadn’t they just become acquainted? And while she, or more specifically, her name was quite famous within the army, the rumors about her were quite awful. Was this senior drunk?

However, when she saw a notification popping up and read its content, she swallowed the doubtful words about to leave her mouth.

While all sorts of thoughts were running inside Wang Yu Yan’s mind, the man finally resumed talking.

“So how about you leave the army and be my disciple?” Finally, Jiang Li said, his eyes that still full of smiles gleaming a peculiar light.
